UTF-8 encoding instead of ISO?

1 Oct 08, 2005 20:02    

I'd like to use UTF-8 encoding for my default (US) locale instead of ISO, so I don't have to do any special handling for things like left and right quotes, or for including Chinese characters, etc. I see how to set the encoding for an added locale, but how do I change the default one?

Does b2evo fully support UTF-8 encoding?

Thanks,

Shane

What do you mean your server is saying you need it setup this way? You getting an error message then?

my server is saying the settings we have for our programs including B2e needs to be set for UTF-8. so anytime we use ' or other simple symbols they look like squares or other wierd symbols. making it very hard to post a blog quickly.

In conf/advanced.php ( B2 v 1.8.1 )

/**
* CREATE TABLE options.
*
* Edit those if you have control over you MySQL server and want a more professional
* database than what is commonly offered by popular hosting providers.
*/
$db_config['table_options'] = ''; // Low ranking MySQL hosting compatibility Default
// Recommended settings:
# $db_config['table_options'] = ' ENGINE=InnoDB ';
// Development settings:
# $db_config['table_options'] = ' ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ';
